    Chicago's RIDICULOUS Plan for Gun Control

    I guess "civilians" are now automatically categoriezed as "dangerous persons" if they buy an AR.

    Academy Sports--I felt like a criminal

    I have better luck at Academy than any other chain. When they first opened in these parts, they would run 15% off firearms sales from time to time, and they would even take the percentage off a sale price. As far as other chains go, I've bought one gun from Bass Pro and one gun from...

    Way to take the high road and set an example. :scrutiny:

    Academy Sports--I felt like a criminal

    A couple of purchases back, my Academy forgot to have me sign the acknowledgment regarding safety measures and guns. The manager called and asked if I could come back to sign it. As a result she gave me a $25 gift card. To me, it showed: (a) they do have to take the paperwork seriously and...

    Academy Sports--I felt like a criminal

    I've bought several at Academy over the years, and their checkout procedures have become a bit more rigorous. That said, I've always been done in 15 to 30 minutes, and no one was rude about it. I've waited much longer at other vendors or at gun shows. And everyone I've every talked to behind...

    Ammo prices going up?

    The kicker is that they made the "List Price" $59.96. Anybody here paid $60 for a P-Mag?

    Stocking Up on Ammo???

    If they do, then you'll be paying for materials that they purchased months ago. Copper, lead, zinc, etc. are all down as far as price. Sounds like your shop may be doing a bit of profiteering based on public fear.

    Would you shoot bigfoot?

    Next question: would you shoot the Easter Bunny if you saw him?

    Would you shoot bigfoot?

    +1. Can you say "25 to life"?

    Where are all the shipments?

    Some tell you where they are. For instance, AIM Surplus states on their website:

    Educate me on portable treestands

    Another fan of Summit stands. They totally stand behind their product. I too hunt out of a Summit Viper and have done so for the past 5 years.

    Best Place to Buy AR-10.. Best Type

    Local Academy Sports stocks several types of ARs. I recall, on the lower end of the price spectrum, a Bushmaster ORC and a S&W M&P 15OR. Both are "optics ready" flat-tops, and both were priced at $899 a couple of weeks ago. I think there was also a Bushmaster version with non-detachable carry...

    best scope for Marlin 336

    Another option is to look for a used Leupold. I have a Leupold VX-II in 1-4x20 on my 336 partly because I think that the 20mm scopes just look better on these lever actions. They don't throw off the balance as badly as bigger 30mm+ scopes, and they provide plenty of magnification given the...

    Need a hunting knife

    Here are some of my hunting-sized blades. The one I recommend the most (because of function, price, and availability) is the Buck Vanguard. If you can get it in a premium steel, all the better. The one pictured below (third picture down, third knife from the left) is ATS-34.

    I Find This Reprehensible

    H20 MAN, none since I bought them to keep. But what I wanted to convey is that folks really can get PMAGs "right now" if their definition of "right now" doesn't mean "this very instant." If it means "right now" in this climate, then they can get them. I think that orders placed today will...

    I Find This Reprehensible

    Wrong. I just got 10 in the mail yesterday. $12.97 each plus shipping. I have 15 more that are about to be processed from another vendor. (The mags are in and are being held for me, but the vendor is still shipping orders from two weeks ago.) $14.20 each on those. No shipping charge, so the...
